Excel I have only used as another posh calculator. <br />It would take a while to get back into taking start shots, I mainly used the sun at noon but after several overcast days one was sometimes driven to using the stars and planets. Even before GPS many boats had inertial navigators. You set a known position usually alongside a harbour wall then three gyroscopes worked out where you were from acceleration, they also gave wave height.Adrian Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061432566298145837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-73310826666529343862020-10-17T17:12:12.388+01:002020-10-17T17:12:12.388+01:00Excel seemed to pass me by completely, never reall...Excel seemed to pass me by completely, never really seen the use for it. When I worked for the local authority for a few years they were crazy about it and still are although nobody really knows how to use it. Everything was a spreadsheet. It didn't matter how much money was being wasted just as long as it was recorded on a spreadsheet. Stockbrokers never bothered with it, we found the back of an envelope much more hands on and useful.

And then I had you to copy from.<br /><br />I used Excel for millions (I exaggerate a little) but since I turned Apple I've rarely had a need for the equivalent program and I expect Excel has gone all modern too. What one knows is always easier to use. <br /><br />If the world keeps going to hell in a handcart and someone turns off the satellites or the GPS's batteries run out people like you who can still use a sextant (on a clear night - remember them?) will still have an advantage.

The only thing I found useless in that is it's pathetic attempts at stabilization. Crops the view by a lot but the result is still jittering all over the place. Can't beat iMovie for that.<br />Haven't used Chrome. Is there not a master password which will let you look at the stored passwords? At least Firefox allows that.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.com
